Director: Stefano Sollima
Rating:

This rather gritty but largely pointless sequel to the 2015 triple Oscar nominee, misses out on some of the key contributors from the original (Johann Johannsson, Roger Deakins, Denis Villeneuve, and actress Emily Blunt) and it shows up in the entreaty - so the promise of a tense and involving experience is severely muted. Sollima goes through the motions of making this a shocker but there's not much emotional connection to go with it.
